Dear Tug Nuts,
Hello from Guttenberg, Iowa,
This is an invitation to all Tug Nuts to attend the 2nd National, Mississippi River, C-Brat Gathering & Reunion, in Guttenberg, Iowa (September 8, 9 & 10).
Why not include Ranger Tugs, we are in the middle of America with few opportunities to meet others who have C-Dory’s let alone Ranger Tugs. Why not meet together at the same place and have a great time?
Sign up for the gathering at c-brats.com (see “Event Signups” button under the C-Brats logo).
This sign up (early as possible, as soon as you know that you are going to attend) is a very important aid with planning etc.
The cost is $25.00 per person, which includes a T-Shirt and the Saturday evening Bar-B-Q Rib banquet.
We get together on Thursday and Friday evening (last year some showed up on Wednesday), everyone is welcome to bring whatever snacks they choose to share.
We do meet for breakfast each morning (only if you want to), everyone is on their own each day (typically each days plans are made at breakfast with individuals and groups heading out in all directions).
We do have a scheduled (group) cruise on Saturday to the Hawkeye Marina (27 miles down river) for lunch (and impromptu boat show, more about that later).
If you are attending the gathering without a boat, we will figure out who you can hitch a ride with for the Saturday cruise.
Even though Connie and I furnish Ice Tea, Lemonade and Coffee, this is a BYOB event.
Yes, there is a considerable variety and volume of some “pretty fancy” beer that shows up (we furnish the ice, coolers etc.).
Along with everything else we have a “LOOT” table, where anyone (only if they choose to contribute) may bring any item/s they want to donate. The “LOOT” is “split up” at the Friday evening gathering (we draw boat names, a crew member can come forward and choose any item from the “LOOT” table).
Just a note: We continue to draw boat names until all the “LOOT” is gone, then we have fresh baked pie topped with (good old Iowa made) “Blue Bunny” ice cream.
Also, we will have a “For Sale” table, all we ask is that each item be tagged with the owners name and the buyer and the seller make their own deal.
Hopefully you have figured out that everyone gets together to enjoy themselves and have a great time.
We look forward to see you in September.
Best regards,
Ron, Connie, Bear & Dolly Fisher
PS: Maybe next year it's the National Mississippi River C-Brats/(Ranger) Tug Nuts Gathering, in Guttenberg, Iowa.
